The earliest members of the Canidae family, which includes all dogs, jackals and foxes, can be traced back 30 million years.  All domestic dogs are descended from the Gray Wolf and  still retain much of the wolf's instincts; loyalty to their masters, the territorial instinct exploited in guard dogs and the hunting instinct refined in gundogs, hounds and terriers.  Dogs have been selectively bred for these traits for over 9000 years.  Hand and Hammer Silversmiths- Paw Print 2009 -   The size of this ornament is about 2" X  1 3/4".
